Sunny Donuts

The lady at the counter is always friendly. We love their large selection of doughnuts. My favorites are the chocolate glazed and the chocolate filled. My fiancé loves the chocolate old fashioned and the Boston crème. This place never disappoints.

Had the worst sweet tooth, so hubby and me got on good olé Unilocal to find a donut shop, other than krispy kreme. I absolutely love that this place is open 24/​7, so I know whenever I’m craving, this is a great stop. It was empty, so we were in and out super quick. We got half a dozen donuts for like $ 6. Which was also awesome, check off: «affordable» on that Unilocal check list. We were greeted promptly by a sweet and friendly asian woman. We got a buttermilk donut, french delight, a couple chocolate ones, and the vanilla crème donut. Every single donut was absolutely delicious. I would post a picture but we literally ripped through these donuts like rabid/​starved animals, LOL. I think this is a local business so that’s also a plus! I most definitely recommend this place to anyone. Maybe I’ll try coffee there sometime. Delicious donuts, fair prices, AND fast, friendly service. I will be back for sure.

Family was craving for donuts … And look what we see Sunny’s donuts great donuts but customer service sucks !!!

My fiancé and I were across the street getting our marriage license and thought we’d treat ourselves to a donut afterwards (our pre-​marriage diet…). His favorite is a glazed or powdered w vanilla crème which is a rare find unless you go to Krispy Kreme. He was so excited to find that they had it at Sunny Donuts!
Very mom-&-pop, classic donut shop! We were greeted right away, and was even told if there was a tray out of stock that we wanted, they can make it for us. Instead of grabbing the last two powdered vanilla crème, we were offered a new fresh batch which was great!
Very friendly staff, and would definitely be back here!

I totally recommend this place, especially if you’re stuck in traffic on the 15, in rain sleet and snow, and have a sweet tooth… They’re always friendly (considering that they’re opened ²⁴⁄₇ with limited help).
There’s a nice selection of donuts that are most always fresh in taste and texture… and if you’re longing for a donut that’s showing as empty in its basket, just ask and they may have fresh ones in the back.
My favorite are the cake chocolate and cake glazed donut holes — soooo succulent/​melts in mouth and fun to eat. Their honey chocolate glazed and buttermilk donuts are definitely winners. there’s a good selection of milk, juices, coffees, hot chocolate, and other drinks to choose from.

2^nd time I’ve had donuts on a Sunday afternoon. Fresh, good, great coffee. The best that San Diego has to offer. The Asian lady who has been here both times is pleasant and a delight to talk to. I wish I lived closer, but that might be bad for my waistline.

First time we came here, we were served by a rude lady but brushed it off and tipped because she made our sandwiches well. Second time, a very sweet Vietnamese lady served us. Third time, we were served again by the rude lady who works late night shifts, as we asked for the same sandwich. (Bacon, ham and sausage and willing to pay extra)
She then got pissed off at us and rudely told us that she can’t do that and when we asked why she said the croissants are too small. We then said it had been made for us before. She rolled her eyes and said it would cost $ 1 for each thing and we said it was fine because that sandwich is rly good! She once again made a face and went to make it.
We saw the croissants, they are huge and more than fit what we asked for. We then paid and noticed it was .75c, not $ 1. So she lied about two things to try and get out of making something that all you do is microwave and it takes no more than five minutes lol. At a time where there is no customer’s so she has nothing to do… unbelievable considering we have tipped her before and I was really sweet to her anyways.
She then gave it to us in a to-​go bag and didn’t even ask if we wanted to eat it there — which we did! Thanks a lot for ruining an environment we loved and food. Will only come during the day now.
Food is delicious, customer service at night is terrible. Can see why she’s on late night shifts.

Great place to go in the morning for a good cup of coffee and a doughnut. I love that it’s set up like a bar because you are able to socialize with others. Whenever I bring my kiddos in the owner always gives them doughnut holes. They are super friendly and nice. I also like the doughnuts are made from a honey glaze!

Best donut and coffee ever!!! My go to place for a donut fix. They open 24 hr so come whenever. Friendly staff. And the price is ridiculously cheap.

This place was just awesome. We took our 3 year old, which was actually her first donut experience. She absolutely loved it, so did we. The donuts were fresh, and the service was great.

It’s like walking into the early 1990s. I say that because when you look around the building it’s not new. A classic Doughnut shop with the normal selection. We got half a dozen. A cinnamon roll, buttermilk glazed, apple fritter, chocolate glazed, Bavarian cream and classic. All good and hit that sweet spot everyone craves some times. I can’t say to much because it’s just classic doughnuts. But the buttermilk glazed was my favorite out of the selection we picked up.
The place is clean and service is fine. It’s open 24 hours and lots of parking. They also have breakfast sandwiches, soup and other menu items. Its worth it if you want doughnuts any time of the day.

First of all, a 24 hour donut shop?
Not only can you get these babies at any hour of the night, but even at 1030pm, they were so soft and fresh. The toasted coconut was a bit too sweet for me, but the chocolate sprinkled was amazing, and the cinammon roll was so good.
We’re from the Midwest and are addicted to Dunkin Donuts, but this definitely comes to a close 2^nd.
Next time, will try the coffee as well!

This donut shop was absolutely excellent! We came in around 8am and the donut bins were well stocked and everything seemed to be extremely fresh. I particularly enjoyed my croissant sandwich. The best part though had to be the staff. They were all extremely friendly and helpful, and as a previous poster reported they were especially nice to my daughter.
They have a dine-​in counter as well which was a perfect place to chill and eat. They seemed to have quite a few regulars, but didn’t treat anyone with preference, which I appreciated being a first timer.
Also, they did not have a credit card minimum when I paid. I don’t know if this has changed recently or if someone just had a bad experience.

Had a craving for donuts this am so I went to Unilocal to see what fellow Unilocalers suggested. This place was fast with service and donuts tasted good. I don’t eat donuts on the regular, but I would come back if I want fast fresh and easy service.

I have driven by Sunny’s many times, and being a doughnut lover I was destined to stop and indulge. I brought the kids here this morning for breakfast before I left for work. I really appreciate classic doughnut shops like this one.
They have a little bar area for those who want to just sit and enjoy their coffee and doughnuts. Or you can do like we did, and just get doughnuts for take out.
The selection was great and the display was really nice! I even saw doughnuts I’ve never seen before!
They give the kids a free doughnut hole on a stick. Its on a coffee stick, so it looks like a doughnut lollipop!

Sunny Donuts did not let me down on this visit. I came in post breakfast burrito and had them serve me up a cinnamon doughnut and a small carton of chocolate milk.
I have not had a cinnamon doughnut in quite some time, so I was looking forward to it being a cinnamon fan. The doughnut came with a powdered sugar and cinnamon mixture on top which I enjoyed very much. The dough portion of the doughnut was moist and fluffy with a hint of vanilla. The cinnamon doughnut was perfect for dunking in the cold chocolate milk.
They also make breakfast sandwiches here and provide Boyd’s coffee products. The place was clean and service was pleasant at the counter. This seems to be a very popular neighborhood doughnut shop and for good reason.
Good doughnuts.

This place is awesome… for one there aren’t many 24hour donut shops left in San Diego… let alone one that offers more than just fresh doughnuts. These guys also have a good breakfast sandwhich and some other deli offerings… almost a bit like a café than a doughnut shop.
Again the key here are the doughnuts and the fresh coffee that was readily available. Parking here is pretty decent as well the parking lot that is shares with some other locations does have its peak times… but there is immediate street parking right out front for people on the go.
Give these guys a go its a small family owned business… service and food is great.

It’s your typical donut shop and some! What won me over was the fact that they have several different kinds of filled donuts… Boston Crème, Bavarian, Strawberry, Lemon, Apple, just to name a few.
They only take card if you spend a minimum of $ 7, but the lady that helped me was kind enough to charge my card because I didn’t have any cash. She was very nice and patience with me. I was a kid in a candy store and there was so many too chose from that I didn’t know what to get! So i ended up getting half a dozen just in filled donuts. I tried to make it to $ 7 so I could use my card, but that was also my excuse to buy more donuts for myself! I promise I just came in for one donut.
One more thing I would like to say – they have a counter so you can eat/​drink there. Usually you don’t see this too often where you can sit and enjoy your donut right away. It is very convenient if you are a messy eater like myself. You should see all the white powder in my car! (nooooot that powder, powdered sugar). haha, but it does get hot in there while they are making more donuts!
In the mornings there is usually a line out the door. I try to come after the rush, around 10−12p.
This place is awesome and I would recommend it to anymore!

This place is open all day, 24 hours! Good amount of bar seating. Ample parking.
The Donuts: Ended up walking out with a box of half a dozen sweeties for under $ 6. The filled donuts are nicely filled. If you split the donuts in half, there are equal amounts of filling on both sides.
Vanilla Crème: Vanilla filled donut. Nicely symmetrically filled (80%filled). Was not into the filling. Had a overpowering taste of cake icing. Not my favorite.
French Delight: Apple filled donut. Nicely symmetrically filled (80% filled). There was icing and dusted with cinnamon.
Bavarian: Filled donut. I liked the crème better with this donut compared to the Vanilla. However, a little disappointed that this one wasn’t filled symmetrically like the others. I’d say the donut was only filled 40%.

This place is super close to my work, which makes it TOTALLY convenient to sneak out of the office at 2 PM on a Monday afternoon for the last of their apple fritters.
Yup, I’m that girl.
I’ve had a baaaaddddd craving for an apple fritter so I jumped on Unilocal and checked out their reviews. 4 stars? Good enough for this Unilocal rating snob.
Called them up, she said she had 3 apple fritters left. I told her to hold them for me, because I’m on my way! Went in, she had them already bagged and ready to go. I bought all three fritters for $ 2.45. Yup, all 3 because if I’m going to have a craving for something, 1 of it is just NEVER enough. I have no sense of moderation. So I ate all 3. In a row. No regrets.
And I’ll definitely be back.
